Krakow officially has a piece of my heart, as well as a piece of my history ❤️
In case you haven’t heard me say it (ha, as if I haven’t shouted it from every rooftop), I just turned 40. And yes, I’ve made a big deal about it, because it is a big freaking deal! You bet I’m celebrating the hell out of it.
I always thought I’d mark this milestone somewhere big, bold, exotic. I tried. But every door I pushed on stayed shut. Nothing aligned: timing, money, logistics, vibes. So I sulked a little, played my tiny violin, and decided maybe I’d just stay home. “Who even cares about turning 40 anyway?” (Me. I care.)
And then, I started getting this pull. A quiet, persistent whisper toward Krakow. The place where so many of my ancestors are from. I didn’t understand it at first, but signs kept showing up. I kept pulling the “ancestors” card from one of my decks (which I used to think was a spiritual filler card, not gonna lie). But it wouldn’t stop.
Then during the Magic May portal I shared with you, I decided to walk my own talk. Screw it, let’s do it. And when pulled a card for me and said, “You need to go somewhere and touch the ground your ancestors walked on,” I knew. Krakow. Within 15 minutes, the trip booked itself. The right flights. The perfect Airbnb. The signs were undeniable.
And the trip? Magic. Vibrant, alive, moving. We stayed in the Jewish Quarter, where I was so proud to see our culture being celebrated. We visited Auschwitz on my actual birthday, a heavy, sacred day of remembering and honouring life. On the bus there, I thought of my ancestors and looked out to see a field of red poppies. The flower of remembrance. You can’t make this stuff up.
This is where I was meant to be.
Sometimes doors stay shut because they’re not yours to open. But when the right one appears? It swings open with ease. That’s your sign. That’s your yes.
What if we lived this way: more trust, less force? What if we made decisions from that deep knowing in our gut instead of trying to logic our way into the life we think we should have?
Honor the past. Live in the present. And when it feels right… say yes.
Also: go visit Krakow. It’s a gem and I’m obsessed 😍
